The ongoing trend toward many-core computer systems and adequate new programming models has spawned numerous new activities in the domain of operating system (OS) research during recent years. This chapter will address the challenges and opportunities for OS developers in this new field and give an overview of state-of-the-art research.This section will introduce the reader to the spectrum of contemporary many-core CPU architectures, application programming models for many-core systems, give a brief overview of the resulting challenges for OS developers.
